This does not answer your question, but it is usually preferable not to have vertical relation symbols, and not to worry about the vertical alignment, except at the first equals sign (this is done with "align"). Instead, you usually want things more like this:

A ~ B ~ C
~ D ~ E ~ G
~ H ~ I

and so on.

More to your question, I know there is a way to save an alignment place and recall it later, but I don't remember how to do it. Another option might be to use the "split" environment.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. An excellent resource for these kinds of questions is this book. Good luck!

> how does a complete novice that is new to LaTeX know that there is a package that will do exactly what they are trying to do?

Great question. One answer is that there have been books that at least covered much of what an intermediate person would want to know. One is
The LaTeX Companion (wonderful but getting on in years so it misses out on new developments), and More Math into LaTeX (also good, and quite recent, but not as comprehensive as the Companion). Look for these in a university library.

Another answer might be not quite as satisfactory but also has some valididty: if you asked me for an authoritative list of Python packages then I would also say that there isn't really one. LaTeX is big and very, very capable. It changes all the time. A complete list that a beginner person could easily make it through, and which is kept current, is a very big job for someone to do. I don't know of anyone who has.

I also just enjoy typesetting stuff! (Figures, since I am a graphic design major.)

Project Gutenberg has been a great resource, lots and lots of examples/books that require different styles of organization. I am currently working on a LaTeX version of Beowulf, the fun part of this for me has been trying to create a page layout that does the poem justice and treats all the footnotes and sidenotes nicely. I've also made my own copies of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn in similar fashion.

Another thing I am working on is Marcus Aurelius' meditations. I bought a copy of Gregory Hays Translation, which I used as an exercise in creating a "journal" format in LaTeX. Now, I am playing around with showing several translations of Meditations (a number are on the internet) and putting them in LaTeX so that the same passages, but translated into English differently, are side-by-sde.

I have a number of these little projects. Only a few of them have been finished.

Gotcha, very cool, thanks for elaborating.

Based on what you said, you might be interested in Just My Type.

More Math into Latex is excellent. You can get the short course (first few chapters of the book) free here.

Find a good book. I have one (I think it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0201362996/ref=cm_sw_r_taa_ZBGxxbFYM23S2) and the fact it shows you a ton of packages and how to use them fantastic. I haven't come across a tutorial that has remotely as much info as that book.

I prefer clrscode, mainly because it's what's used in the famous CLRS algorithms book and I like the way that looks.

\> Also, don't use an online compiler. Services like Overleaf and CoCalc can be great for small projects

I wrote CoCalc's LaTeX editor initially for working collaboratively on this book. The critical value was realtime collaboration... but you're right that there is extra trouble for large documents. Unlike Overleaf, at least we made it so CoCalc gives you a full xterm shell, so you can run arbitrary scripts, install packages, etc., ssh into your project.
